Let me know you a little better

Grew up in a cat household, and for the first 26 years of being an adult I had a home with cats only. But starting this past year we've systematically added more varieties of animals, first fish, then salamanders, then parakeets, and finally I gave in to my kids' pleas to get our first two dogs. Never wanted dogs growing up (truth was I was a bit scared of them as a young kid), didn't want the increased maintenance of them today (other animals you feed and otherwise forget, unless the cat comes to you for an occasional scratch). Figured despite my kids pleading for the dogs, the actual chore of taking care of them would largely fall to me...they may feed them and occasionally play, but walks, discipline, training, etc would fall to me...and it largely has, as predicted.
But you know what? Gotta say the dogs are growing on me. Sure, they are noisy and destroying my back yard and their food costs more than all the other animals combined, but they do make great companions to sit and watch football with, and the first time the puppy brought ME his tug-of-war rope felt great.
That's so cool.
IMO dogs are the best companion ever. 
They love you no matter what. All they want is food, playtime with you, and endless belly rubs in return.
Having had an animal-loving older sister while us 4 kids were growing up, we were always getting different animals. My 2 older sisters would go cruising out on the back roads and bring home stray cats, a dog, picked up a duckling at a local store near Easter time. We had small turtles, goldfish, parakeets, hamsters, bunnies, and we even had a Capuchin monkey gifted to us when I was about 13. As an adult, we've had bunnies, hamsters, cats and dogs. Dogs will always hold the biggest piece of my heart. And yes, they are a commitment but worth it IMO.2 -

Oof nah0 -
Speaking of college football, people often assume since I'm a big NFL fan that I'm naturally also a big college football fan. But nope, I'm not. I'll watch the national title game, and on a rare occasion a bowl game, but there's just too much discrepancy in talent for me to watch an average Saturday game and enjoy it. At least in the NFL the "worst" player on the "worst" team is still good enough to be considered the very best player on just about any college team he may be a part of, so the difference in winning or losing in the NFL is less a matter of player talent and more a matter of strategy and individual effort.1

Because when all three things still applied we had no internet yet. And we didn't watch ultra high def TV's that barely fit on a wall.... because we didn't have them.
And for the most part, I think that's a good thing. We were forced to go out in the world and interact. But it's not like we had much choice really. 2 -

It seems pointless.
Face to face is SO much better.
They are missing out. 😉1 -
Even when face to face at the same dinner table, my kids' noses would never leave their phone screens if my wife and I didn't have the rule of no electronics at the table during family meal time. I know this because at other meals (say Sunday lunch), they sit there with phone in one hand, fork in the other, laughing in their own little world with barely a nod in acknowledgement of anybody else at the same table.0
